The research uncovers labour market effects and implications for gendered well-being and entitlements, and how women migrant workers struggle for their dignity in relation to the factory, their colleagues, and their family members. The ways in which different state policies in Thailand interact to create new cheap labour pools in the border area are also examined.Text1 digital file (20 p.)enCROSS BORDER MIGRANT WORKERSBURMESE-THAI BORDER MIGRANT WORKERS AND CITIZENSHIPBURMESE WOMEN LABOUR MIGRATIONMIGRANT WORKERSGOVERNMENT POLICYGLOBALIZATIONGENDER ANALYSISLABOUR MIGRATIONWOMEN WORKERSFinal Technical Report
